Michael Sweet may be the Godfather of it all, or (if we're switching movies) at least a "Jedi" in the "christian music world."  His band, Stryper, exploded onto the scenes in the 1980s selling millions of albums, playing all over MTV, blasting on all radio stations, playing shows with top bands like Ratt and Bon Jovi.  Mikee Bridges frontman of Tooth and Nail Records' legendary band "Sometime Sunday," played a style of music in the mid-90s that many folks would identify as "grunge." Both join as guests on this episode.  The conversations on this episode look at many layers of this "punk-rock," alternative evolution of christian music; one example being the jeers and ridicule both Mikee and Michael endured despite having very different music careers, due to both of their singing lyrical content pertaining to Christian faith.  With a few other hosts thrown into the mix, this episode also assesses the swift trend from "glam metal to grunge" in the early 90s, contains talks about Guns 'N Roses, Mortal and Poor Ol Lu, and time is spent ranking the first 4 Stryper albums.  Fun-filled episode!Go join the club now by going to RosterMusic.Club.
